EN GIN E-MECHANISM ASSEMBLY.

. Application filed June 19,

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM C. HEATH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Beloit, in the county of Rock and State of Wisconsin, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Engine-Mechanism Assemblies, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates'to engines particularly internal combustion engines.

The object of the invention is to simplify construction and ready repair of engines by arranging nearly all-the controlling and operating parts upon a single frame, readily attitchable to and detachable from the engine bo The invention consists in means for carrying out the foregoing objects which can be easily made, which is satisfactory in use and is not readily liable to get out of order. More particularly the invention consists in many features and details of construction which will be hereafter more fully set forth in the specification and claims.

Referring to the accompanying drawings in which similar numerals represent the same parts throughout the several views,

Figure 1 is an end view ofan engine body having attached thereto mechanism illustratin this invention in its preferred form.

Fig. 2 is a side view of the parts illus trated in Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a side view'of the frame removed from Fig. 2.

The conventional form of engine to which the device of this invention is shown applied has the usual cylinder 10 mounted upon a supporting body 12 from which, for the purposes of this invention, there projects a pair of bracket horns '14 accidentally horizontal as here illustrated.

he supporting frame or plate of the invention comprises, as shown, a top horizontal plate 16, a vertically depending plate 18 connected thereto by curved members 20 and a third member 22 at right angles to and integral with each of the first mentioned members 16 and 18, there projecting from the member 18 a plurality of lugs and bosses, as hereafter described, on or in which certain shafts and gears are j ournaled.

It is detachably secured to the bracket horns 14 by bolts or screws 24 passing through horizontal member 16, in turn havsupporting Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 18, 1921. 1919. Serial No. 305,254.

ing the magneto mechanism 26 secured to its top by bolts or screws 28.

J ournaled in a suitable opening 30 formed in frame plate 18 and adjacent bosses provided for the purpose is a shaft 81 carrying at convenient points cam 32 and driving gear 34.

Correspondingly journaled in perforation 36, provided for the purpose, is a short shaft carrying at one end a pinlon 38 meshing with gear 34 and at the other end the engine governor mechanism 40 adapted, as well understood in the art, to operate rod 42 regulating the valve or other similar device of the engine.

Rigid in third perforation 44 in frame plate 18 is stud 46 carrying rocker arm 48 suppdrting roller 50 hearing on cam 82.

his rocker arm 48 also bears against the end of rod 52 operating the valve of the engine. Rod 52 is slidably mounted through an extension 54 in member 22. Thus, as shaft 30 rotates cam 32, it engages roller 50, rocks arm 48 and consequently reciprocates rod 52.

Magneto mechanism 26 is provided with an operating arm 56 engaged by any suitable mechanism 58, well known in the art, mounted on wheel 34.

Gear 34 meshes with-pinion 64 on main crank shaft 66 driven by crank arm 68 and suitable connecting mechanism well known in the art.

From the foregoing, it is obvious that, by disconnecting rod 42 at 70 and removing bolts 24, the entire angular frame mechanism carrying the magneto, the governor, the valve operating mechanism and its cam, can be made as one compact unit and applied to and removed from the engine at the will of the operator.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In mechanism of the class described, the supporting plate comprising a horizontal member, a vertical member at right angles thereto, and a vertical member at right angles to an integral with each of the first mentioned members, means on one of the plates for mounting a cam shaft, a valve rod operating mechanism and a governor mechanism, means on another of the plates for mounting a magneto, means on the third to each of the others, there being in member i 18 perforations 30, 36, and 44:, arranged-as described, there being in member 22 aperioration for a Valve rod, there being in member 16 means for securing *the magneto thereto and for securing the entire frame to an engine"frame; a11 ofthe parts being ar- 7 ranged'as shown and described for the purposes'set forth. 3 V

In witness whereof, Ihave hereunto sub- 15 scribed my name in the presence of two Wit- IIGSSGS.
